What are the different modes?

[Kevin578]

Can anyone tell me what each mode does? Read, Build, Write, Verify, Discovery?

Welcome Kevin, if you read the any of the guides in this link http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showforum=4 they will explain what each function does and for what purpose you use them, i.e verify does just that verifies the image you have made to one already on your HD or DVD and build builds an image, say from a video TS folder into an ISO which you can then use the write function to burn it to disc, as i said read the guides they explain it better and in more detail

This is covered in the program description on the main website.

 

But even then, if you think about the program in terms of ISO (disc) images, it's pretty simple to work out what each mode does!

 

'Write' - It writes a disc image to a blank disc.

'Read' - It reads a disc to a disc image.

'Verify' - It compares a disc to a disc image.

'Build' - It creates a disc image (ready for burning or for burning on-the-fly) from a bunch of random files on your hdd.

'Discovery' - It basically does a (destructive) dummy run on burning a disc to it's full capacity. This is useful for testing when used in combination with the varios PIPO scanning programs to test the quality of the burn.
